May I claim Mrs. Telfer?
I love this show--18 years of stage managing, I feel like I know all these people. (Guess some things never change!)

Hi Susan, welcome to our play we're always happy to rope in new voices and talents Looks like your real-life job as well prepared you for this. I'll sign you up for Mrs Telfer. I see you don't have a personal reader page yet, so please tell me by what name you want to be credited by, can be your real name or some other nickname. For the moment I reserve that part for you.

Since you are pretty new at drama in LV, here are a few instructions, particular to drama recording:

> no need to speak and intro or outro, the narrator will provide this part. Please only make a complete voice credit. For you here that would be "Mrs Telfer (Miss Violet Sylvester) read by Susan Ferman", if that is the reader name you want to go by.

> record each line that your character has to speak in the text, leaving at least 2-3 seconds of silence between each block of speeches. Even if the narrator only interrupts one of your sentences with a stage direction, like for example "Thank you, but" [goes to table] "that won't be necessary", also here: record "Thank you, but" - leave 2 seconds of silence - record "but that won' be necessary". This pause will make it easier to copy/paste your bits into a masterfile later on

> be as expressive as you can I find it helps to read at least the scene or few lines around the character to know how they should be reacting to the other people.

> one file per act please. The correct file naming can be found in the first post.

Most of all: have fun !

If there are still questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I think I just want to use my real name, Susan Ferman, as my reader name. Assuming I don't get sunk by neighbors with fireworks, I am going to give a shot at recording tonight, while no one else is home.
